The armour begins to have troubles when facing later battleships with larger than 14-inch guns, although if angled the armour can hold off some hits from heavier calibres. It can be expected to withstand hits from other 12-inch-armed battleships of the rank, and the smaller 283 mm guns of the early German battleships.

She has a main belt 11 inches thick, angled at 2° to increase the thickness of the armour.

The USS Wyoming is well armoured for an early battleship, with a distributed armour scheme, and quite survivable. While the Wyoming is largely similar to other classic dreadnought in terms of gameplay, she stands out for her survivability, serviceable anti-air defense, and the excellent penetration offered by her main battery for its calibre. In this refit, she receives a torpedo belt, reinforced deck armour, more efficient oil-fired boilers, and some 3-inch anti-aircraft guns. Introduced in Update 'Red Skies', the USS Wyoming in War Thunder is in her 1927 configuration, representing her peak performance as a dreadnought prior to her demilitarization. The sisters would serve under different roles during World War II - Wyoming was demilitarized to comply with the 1930 London Naval Treaty and served as a training ship and later an anti-air training ship throughout the war, while Arkansas continued her career as a capital ship and served in both the Atlantic and Pacific theatre. The two ships of the class, Wyoming and Arkansas, would later see extensive service in both world wars. The class presents a substantial improvement over its predecessor, notably being the first American battleship to utilize torpedo bulkheads.

5.2 Interwar years and conversion into training shipĮssentially an enlarged version of the previous Florida-class battleship, itself a repeat of the Delaware-class, the Wyoming-class battleship is the final classic dreadnought of the US Navy and the last American battleship to be armed with 12-inch cannons.
